I am having a freaking blast doing all the quests. I think its great fun how they have incorporated NPC to take you places....or to participate in events.

Being new to this game I read a TON of posts that are way over my current comprehension level and even though this post may bore the hell out of some of you I just wanted to say THANKS! To the guys who made this game.

and THANKS! to some of the players who are very helpful and freindly to the n00blets.

I finaly decided after having information overload to expirience the whole pve game as a Warrior/Monk (I held off as long as I could) I think I couldn't have picked a better classs combo to start off with while learning the game and making new freinds.

Anyway I just wanted to post something happy

Hey, I still love the game, too. The fact that I'm not rich doesn't bother me, I have enough to make my characters into what I want them to be, and that's all that there's really any point in having. The game still rocks, so far, and I'm awaiting the upcoming update with bated breath

when you get bored of warrior/monk you should try a less cookie cutter class. You'll enjoy the game all over again experiencing it from a different set of class combos.

welcome to Guild Wars...and GWGuru.com

*good to hear.

I am in the middle crowd now, not totally new, and not godly yet and I have been happy with the game.

the only things that make this game less fun are the poorly AI'ed human players, and the contant whining on this otherwise very helpful forum.

Branskins · Aug 12, 2005, 06:58 PM // 18:58

I lovED doing all the quests...but now I have none to do!! I would be totally happy and willing to play the game more hours on end if I had some more quests, and if they increased worthy drops!

I've been playing since release and love the game, not playing cookie cutters will always make he game fun and challenging.

tntpop · Aug 12, 2005, 07:20 PM // 19:20

I'm so new I didnt think that War/Monk was considered cookie cutter... just a melee that could heal himself.

After reading the forums though I didn't want to make one because of the negative publicity.

But I thought "what the heck..." and I am glad I did... the guy is really fun for me. I am looking forward to something new and fun on the next build too

Mavrik · Aug 12, 2005, 07:21 PM // 19:21

200 hours in and STILL loving every minute of it. Awsome game even with some of the "issues"

stumpy · Aug 12, 2005, 07:24 PM // 19:24

been since beta nov ... very happy ... over 850 hours clocked and millions of xp on each character. still enjoy it. theres nothing to do ... done all quests missions, pvp is alright but in small doses for me like 20 battles in comp ... organized tombs once in a blue moon ... random pugs for the fun of it on late drunk nights .... still amused with its all perspective ... you can make the best of anything with a little humour and a lotta beer ... going to bottle 60 tonight so i should be okay for the weekend.

if i see any in comp arenas ... your dead.

Good for you!

When I started this game, I did not realize that W/Mo was supposedly a "noob" class either. But, she is fun to play, a fighter/smiter. I like variety, so I also started my elem, my monk, and my mez right away to get a feel for all the classes. (Then bought a second account for a necro and a ranger!)

I am very happy with this game also! (It's the people who have nothing else to do--no jobs, no life, no school at the moment--who get burned out by playing GW day in and day out that I think are doing the most complaining. IMHO.)

stumpy · Aug 12, 2005, 07:40 PM // 19:40

after reading that lol ... i had to respond to save face for me lol ... although I have clocked endless hours I work full time as a IT manager ... lol ... and those that post negatively will be going back to school soon so lets all hope the summer update comes out on say ... labour day!

lol ... burn them back!

99 bottles of beer on the wall ... 99 bottles of beer ... take one down ... pass it around ...

tntpop · Aug 12, 2005, 11:19 PM // 23:19

Thank you for all the cool replies. I dopn't know many folks in game so please feel free to say hello sometime in game.

I promise not to ask for money... lol

inspectreo · Aug 12, 2005, 11:22 PM // 23:22

This game particulary has a lot of nice people... THe amount of people who volunteer to help me to do quests is particulary surprising...

Aniewiel · Aug 12, 2005, 11:25 PM // 23:25

I am over 800 hours and still having a ton of fun. Keep the positive attitude!

Aracos79 · Aug 12, 2005, 11:26 PM // 23:26

I just passed the 400 hour mark yesterday, and I'm still going strong. My playtime is down now that I'm working again, but that actually works perfectly as I can use what time I have to knock out 1 or 2 specific tasks per day. And my guild is ramping up to start GvG soon... which is an aspect of this game I've yet to experience. Oh, and the Summer Update will be here soon. So yeah... I'm enjoying myself.

Arvydas · Aug 12, 2005, 11:52 PM // 23:52

/age = 200. still love it!

will play less due to work but will enjoy every opportunity to play! looking forward to the new updates and chapter 2.

Kali Ma · Aug 12, 2005, 11:53 PM // 23:53

I love this game too! The PvE is so much fun, especially with a good group of players. Certainly it's had some ups and downs since release... and these forums can really skew ones perspective if taken too seriously. But Anet really cares about the game and the community; and I've met some amazingly kind and wonderful people ingame. Here's a few tips to keep that lovin' feelin'...

1. Take a break when you're feeling burnt out. Two weeks can do wonders.

2. Take the forums here and on other fansites with a grain of salt.

3. If joining a guild, try to find one that's pretty easy going. Don't be afraid to leave if it isn't working out.

And last but not least, my favorite quote of the day...
